PvP is flawed in so many ways, it shouldn't foster any rewards whatsoever, especially when certain classes have clear-cut advantages over other classes. GCD is but only the first step in "fixing" PvP, and even so, classes will still be very unbalanced. In addition, staking aka gambling in PvP is a definitive no.
Just because other MMOs feature certain things doesn't make it right.

Agree 100% on all the mentioned additions guilds being top priority,but imho until B* is released I wouldn't look for any big changes to pl. I hope the devs add guilds soon cause The pug groups are getting bad.

I'm not even arguing for or against staking...I'm just saying the devs said no to gambling, and staking IS gambling

agreed i dont no an mmo that pvp/staking isnt in it.. staking and pvp brings hype and people want to play it eg play plat for the ctf maps etc... my 20 plat went to waste :/
but staking anything class should be aloud its your choice! if i want my bear to vs a bird then i will do it... its not like your forced to vs overpowered classes
That's why the devs chose not to go through the paths of staking items in PL, because it is first a form of gambling, and secondly it is highly likely there will be more birds winning stakes than any other class. Inherent design flaws to the PvP system gives one class almost all the odds of winning. And yes, your suggestion would fix that (bird vs bird only match for stakes) but that's still a gambling issue.
The only instance in which I've seen "gambling" in PL so far is the Platinum item packs that had a mix of purple/pink items and they did fix it to only pink items for one patch, when they realized that mixed-color Platinum item packs were a form of "gambling."

Dude, Phys, there's this thing called decisions. It could be only Archers using the system, and they'd be winning Archer items than. If a mage wants to fight an Archer, then he can, it's HIS decision.
P.S. Thank me later, Kossi. Your thread has been included into my PvP Helper Link Guides.
